This print captures a historic moment in Kabul, Afghanistan, during the visit of U. S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 9th to 14th December 1959. The image showcases the impressive Afghan Air Force's fleet of Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 fighters and Ilyushin IL-28 bombers lined up on display. The sight is awe-inspiring as these Russian-made aircraft stand as symbols of power and military prowess amidst the backdrop of Kabul's landscape. The sleek design and formidable presence of the MiG-15 fighters evoke a sense of strength and modernity, while the IL-28 bombers exude an air of strategic capability.
